time and the unavoidable passing of it

this 3 day-school week elicits a mixed bag of feelings.  it's not as if i actually have 4 day weekends where i veg out.  i rarely veg to begin with.  i thought it would be cool not to be on campus so much.  it kind of is.  it's kind of like being weaned off of berkeley grounds.  yes, graduation is imminent and there is no avoiding the departure.  (unless i fail a class but if you know me we can be realistic)  i just think i haven't had enough time with cal.  when i first got here, i didn't love it right away.  in fact, there were times when i really hated it and wish i picked another school.  it was miserable at times.  much of my first year was spent dealing with these feelings.  but as second year began i started to fall in love with berkeley.  the school, the city... there was so much to do and i wanted to do it all.  since then my love affair with berkeley has been great.  i never get bored of it, i miss it when i'm back home, and now i'm faced with the realization that soon it will no longer be my second home.  part of it is, of course, the freedom of living on my own with fantastic roommates and having my time be my own.  that is, no one having a say in what i get to do with my time.  i love that my friends are nearby, that we run into each other on campus and can see each other without needing to drive.  i love walking anywhere and everywhere.  but i think most of all i will just miss being close to people.  and it's sad because i've realized how much i cared about making the most of my time, for a long time, but even with this fear of losing time i'm not actively doing anything to make it better.
